Discouraged, misunderstood, sort of helpless,

sort of wondering what was happening in your life. Maybe you felt shut out, mistreated,

or maybe you felt hopeless. Have any of you ever felt any of that?

We all have it sometimes felt sort of doubt.

So we ask a question, well, what did you do about it? How did you respond?

Some people just want to quit.

Want to walk away.

Want to blame somebody. want to blame God,

look at their circumstances and wonder why, but we could just go on and on and on about the reasons people feel down.

And here's the title,
